From your website URL I assume you are talking about your free blog at Wordpress.com.

At Wordpress.com the Plugin feature is not activated, as I guess they don’t want us adding code (via plugins) that they don’t control, which I suppose is fair enough as the blogs they provide are free.

If you need the extra functionality that plugins offer you will need to self-host your blog at a web hosting company like Hostgator. This will require that you buy a web hosting account, then install Wordpress (real easy!) and get your posts from your Wordpress.com free blog using Export and then use Import to get them in to your self-hosted blog.

Hope this helps explain your missing plugin facility!

I do not have a plugins option under appearance in my Wordpress 2.7 dashboard. I’ve looked through all my settings to try to find something that I need to activate but I’ve found nothing. I’d really appreciate your help!!

Seems like your problem might be related to one of your plugins that might not be compatible with version 2.7.

Here are a couple of comments from the Wordpress.org Support Forum on the subject:

“Typically this can been resolved by deactivating ALL your plugins, and then reactivating them one-by-one to determine the offending plugin.”

and…

“In 90% of the 100 or so threads I read about this problem it was due to a dropdown or foldout plugin that was usually causing the trouble.”

Good luck and I hope this solves your problem.
